Hilarious BP Coffee Spill Parody Video

This is what happens when BP spills coffee during a meeting. What could have been a simple cleanup (not to mention prevented) turns into a ridiculous conglomeration of failed tongue-in-cheek cleanup efforts.

Watch:

So what’s going on behind the scenes here?

The genius of this video by UCBComedy is that they actually used many of the ridiculous cleanup ideas that BP has actually attempted – without success.

0:52 – The failed cofferdam that collapsed and remains on the sea floor.

1:08 – After an realizing that the volume of oil spilling out into the ocean was drastically underestimated, BP considered "the junk shot" solution. This idea involved stuffing the leaks with garbage….literally. As if there isn’t enough trash already littering the ocean.

2:19 – Instead of UCBComedy putting faith behind Costner’s dream machine, they instead reference the foolish idea of plugging the oil leak with golf balls – you know, because it turns out that stuffing it with trash was a bad idea.

Hey, I’m glad so many ideas were thrown out, be them ridiculous or not, but maybe Costner’s machine really will work. With 2.5 million gallons of oil spilling into the Gulf each day, let’s hope it will.

Can you think of any ways to help out in the relief efforts while we wait on BP and the Obama camp to come up with a real solution?
